3:25 PM The woman who does my cooking and house cleaning is going to be replaced -- again. Thursday she was supposed to do my laundry, but never showed up. Friday she came and did the laundry, brought it back to my apartment, and said that it was completely finished. As it turned out, the laundry was washed but it had not been run through the dryer. That meant I had a laundry basket filled with wet laundry. Yesterday she never showed up to give me dinner. Today I called her agency and told the head of it what was happening. She said they would replace the person tomorrow. In the meantime, I still have a laundry basket filled with wet clothing. As I was getting up this morning, I somehow managed to sprain my right knee. I ate breakfast, and then decided to take some medication for my pain. I was about to take a short nap when the phone rang. It was my sister calling to say she was coming over to see me. I said that was fine and that I would leave the door unlocked just in case I was asleep when she arrived. My sister brought me a few food items just in case no one else came to give me dinner. (She has always been a worrier.) She also brought me a book, which she said might help me feel better. I guess she thought that just because it always makes her feel better when she is not feeling well, that it would do the same for me If everything goes as planned, which is unlikely, she will be coming back for dinner tomorrow night after I get home from my anxiety group. Actually, tomorrow is my birthday, and she did not want me to spend the evening alone. My mood has not improved much during the weekend, but at least it has not gotten any worse. When I feel as though I am at rock bottom, how much worse can I get?
